THE GERMAN MINE-LAYING SUBMARINE U-117, now a prisoner in the channel at League Island. The submersible is suspected of being one of the mine-spawning sea monsters which strewed deadly cans of explosives alone the Atlantic coast during the Great War. The craft is blamed for the loss of the cruiser San Diego off Fire Island. The U-117 is one of the exhibits which will be on view when the navy yard is thrown open on Saturday to the public.
